Anti-Syria refugee video game allegedly created by Turkish opposition

The Zafer Tourism game, which is named after the extreme Turkish Zafer (Victory) Party, was released by Gacrux Game Studio in response to the racist political campaigns that were being seen in Turkiye prior to Sunday's presidential election.

The game, which is playable on cell phones, centers on loading migrants who are attempting to enter an unnamed country into trucks and sending them back to their home country.

Protect your boundaries, do not allow them to pass, concentrate on your objective and move forward; leave the rest to the trucks, according to the game's description. Before they reach the border, run the migrants over with the trucks, fling them into the air, and keep attempting to stop them. Don't let them take over and defend your flag while they are in your nation.

If players choose to leave the refugees alone, their national flag changes to the flag of the refugees, signifying that the refugees are altering the identity of the country. Players receive points for each refugee they toss in the direction of the trucks. According to sources, if a certain number of migrants are let in, players lose all of their points.

Taha Al-Ghazi, a human rights activist on Syrian refugee problems, stated to Al-Quds Al-Arabi that "we are in the process of filing a lawsuit against the [Victory] party and its president in cooperation with human rights organizations."

The risk of this game is that it targets Turkish youngsters, inflaming animosity toward migrants, he continued. "This game represents an advanced level of nasty behavior towards refugees.

Yesterday, after endorsing Nation Alliance candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu in the second round of the presidential elections, Victory Party chairman Umit Ozdag threatened Syrian refugees. According to their agreement, refugees, particularly Syrians, must be deported to their nation within a year at the latest.
